The DIDXchange would like to highlight one of the IP communications’ industry’s most successful voIP businesses,
MyDivert.com. The ‘early adopters’ at MyDivert.com are certainly starting to see the rewards as sales are predicted to double within 4 months.
The team at MyDivert, which first doubled its customer base in the last 6 months, keeps its customers close to its business partners, family, and friends via the use of a very important set of digits, a voip phone number (also called DID or DDI). Combined with VoIP services, an incoming DID number enables mydivert.com users to maintain a local telephone presence in countries around the world where they may have no physical telephone line.
“We offer DID virtual numbers now in over 65 countries, with a complete numbering range available in some. We have seen the business develop dramatically over the last 18 months and have had to adapt our range of services accordingly. VoIP customers are far more mature now and generally know what they are looking for. The entire team has worked hard to develop combined services that suit a range of user requirements: DID trunks, SIP Trunking for PBX, call termination for single users and multi-channel trunks, and SIP extensions for endpoint users,” says CEO Joel Driver.
Mydivert.com has built their platform around Asterisk, Kamailio, and Linux Open Source Servers.
Josh Stephens, the Asterisk guru at mydivert explained, “We use Asterisk for billing, voicemail and IVR functions, and outbound calls. Kamailio is used for SIP presence due to its scalability. The mapping servers are Asterisk with realtime mysql control.”
*Kamailio, formerly openSER, is an open source SIP server that can handle thousands of call setups per second. Its features include ENUM, least cost routing, load balancing, and can be used to build large VoIP servicing platforms or to scale up SIP-to-PSTN gateways, PBX systems or media servers like Asterisk™, FreeSWITCH™ or SEMS.
**Asterisk is a free, open source software that turns an ordinary computer into a feature-rich voice communications server. Asterisk can be used as a PBX, a gateway, in a call center, in the public network, and other ways being invented as this article is composed and read. More information is available at http://www.asterisk.org.
A huge round of applause from the Techistan community of readers and contributors worldwide for the team at MyDivert.com.
